The property

22 Queen Street is an impressive period townhouse thought to date back to around 1870. There is versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, and with the benefit of windows to three elevations a great deal of natural light throughout. A storm porch leads to the front door and entrance hall, where the stairs provide access to the lower ground and first floors. Either side of the entrance hall is the first of three reception rooms, a dining room, and a stylishly appointed kitchen/breakfast room, which in turn leads to the garden. To the first floor there are three comfortable bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, while on the lower ground floor is the second reception room, currently used as a sitting room, and a further reception that could also be used as a fourth bedroom. Throughout, the house benefits from the generous proportions typical of the finer properties of the era, with high ceilings, elegant windows, many with internal shutters and stained-glass panels, and fireplaces.

Outside

22 Queen Street sits behind an imposing double fronted rendered façade on a corner plot with steps rising from Queen Street to a storm porch and front door. To one side is a low maintenance hard landscaped walled courtyard style garden with access via French windows from the kitchen/breakfast room. Bi-fold gates to Queen Street provide vehicular access allowing the courtyard to be utilised as secure off-street parking if required, with the dropped curb access also providing on street parking under the residents parking zone for the sole use of 22 Queen Street.
